Pass it on

I was 13 years old when I first heard the song Pass It On, while attending a youth meeting in Ridgecrest, NC. I was so touched by the way the song was introduced. At the onset of the meeting they handed each of us a candle and told us we would need it at the end of the service so not to misplace it. As the meeting came to a close the lights were dimmed and all of a sudden one candle was lit and each person passed the first candle to the next person as the song Pass It On was sang repeatedly until all the candles had been lit.

I did not know at that time the song was a well known tune as I'd never been part of Girl Scouts. Some of you grew up knowing this song and I thought the message in the song was worth jogging some memories.

Verse 1
It only takes a spark, to get a fire going.
And soon all those around, can warm up it it's glowing.

Chorus:
That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it, it's fresh like
spring, you want to sing, you want to pass it on.

Verse 2
What a wondrous time is Spring
When all the trees are budding.
The birds begin to sing,
the flowers start their blooming.

Chorus:

Verse 3
I wish for you my friend
this happiness that I've found
You can depend on him
It matters not where your bound.

Last chorus:
I'll shout it from the mountain tops
I want the world to know
The Lord of Life has come to me
I want to pass it on.

so that everyone who believes in Me
will not remain in darkness."
